  • Canadian Meat Council

    Reported by Christopher White · In-house (organization)

    Temporary Foreign Worker Program: the Canadian Meat Council is advocating for the continued access for the Temporary Foreign Worker Program for Canada's meat industry. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding extensive efforts to recruit domestically, it is the reality of our industry that the number of workers required exceeds, by far, the number of both “lower-skilled” and “higher-skilled” Canadian candidates who are both willing and able to work in Canada's meat processing industry. There is now an application fee of $1000 per Temporary Foreign Worker- if a form has 1 employee or 100 employees the charge is $1000 per worker applied for. If the request is rejected the fee is not refunded. These fees seem much higher than a reasonable cost to process- especially when the request for multiple employees is rejected. Read more

    Access to Labour:The Government of Canada should create a 10-year $50 million tax credit for the adoption of automation and industrial robotics in the Canadian meat industry to help Canada’s meat packing and processing industry become more productive during this time of chronic labour shortages.
